Patent GB-190501503-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Process for Producing Cream of Tartar
Filed: 1905-01-25
Granted: 1905-07-27
Abstract: 1503. Lake, H. H., [California Products Co.]. Jan. 25. Tartrates.-Cream of tartar or other tartrate is obtained from marc, pomace, or other material containing calcium tartrate, by treatment with a hot solution of oxalic acid or soluble acid or other oxalates in the presence of sufficient potassium or other salts to form bitartrates. The marc &c. is preferably dried to prevent fermentation. Excess of oxalic acid may be removed from the extract by the addition of lime, or instead the quantity of oxalic acid or oxalate added may be insufficient to react with all the calcium tartrate. Sufficient hydrochloric or other acid may be added to ensure the formation of bitartrates. The extract is evaporated to separate cream of tartar. The residue of marc &c. is extracted with hot water, the extract being treated with oxalic acid, and used to treat fresh quantities of marc &c.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Knitting Machines.
Inventor: SPIERS WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-09-01
Granted: 1906-05-24
Abstract: 17,702. Spiers, W., and Jackson, R. Sept. 1. Circular knitting- machines.-A sliding finger 7, Fig. 1, is employed to force the splicing- thread 5<a> below the hooks of the needles, previous to the release of the end of the thread by the trapper. Thelatter is a slidable bar wit h a terminal jaw 18, Fig. 2, which clamps tho splicing-thread against the front end of the main thread - guide 19. The pivoted splicing-thread guide 8 has a bell - crank arm 14 passing through a slot in a cam-actuated or pattern-controlled pivoted arm 11, Fig. 2. The forward movement of the latter draws the thread 5<a> against the needle cylinder as shown in Fig. 1, while the forward movement of the arm 14 which passes through a lug 31 on the shank of the finger 7 first presses the splicing- thread up to the needles, and then opens the trapper 18 by acting on a pin 24. The trapper is held open by a catch 25. When the arm 14 reaches the end of the return movement, it lifts the catch, and a spring 20 closes the trapper. Previously to this, the guide 8 swings inwards and encounters a cam 34, which lifts the knuckle-jointed front part 33 of the guide and brings the splicing-thread into a suitable position for being trapped.

Abstract: 23,934. Boult, A. J., [Woodbridge, J. L.]. Nov. 20. Distributing; regulating.-Alternating and direct current circuits are connected through a rotary converter or motor-generator and regulate jointly the voltage of a booster, which is connected in series with a storage battery across the directcurrent mains. Resistances, variable under mechanical strain, are employed, this part of the apparatus being similar to that described in Specification No. 10,646, A.D. 1904. The alternating current mains 1, 2, 3, fed by generators 11, 12, include a solenoid 9 acting on the same core as a solenoid 10 in series with the direct-current mains 4, 5, fed by generators 13, 14. The two sets of mains are connected by a rotary converter 6 or its equivalent. The core of the solenoids 9, 10 acts mechanically upon resistance columns 17, 18, connected in series with part of the battery, and a field coil 16 of the booster 8 is connected to points intermediate between the resistances and the ends of the battery section, respectively. The arrangement is such that the battery is caused to discharge on an increase of the joint load, to charge under a decrease, and to remain unaffected if the average joint load is steady.

Granted: 1906-05-31
Abstract: 1103. Lintz, O. Jan. 14, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. Liquid fuel, saturated with air or oxygen under very high pressure, and, if desired, artificially heated, is injected under this pressure or by means of a small pump p, Fig. 1, into the combustion chamber, where it is atomized by the combined action of the high pressure and the escape of the absorbed gas, augmented if necessary by the action of centrifugal jets, mixing-jets, multiple jets, and the like. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, at starting, an air-pump l is employed to charge the vessels a, e with air or oxygen to a pressure of about 50 or 60 atmospheres, and a pump p to charge the vessel e with liquid fuel. The engine being set in motion, the cocks are so turned that the pump l draws air from the vessel a and forces it into the vessel e through the cock hand pipe k, the air being absorbed by the petroleum, the perforated plates s aiding in the absorption. The fuel receives some of the heat of compression of the air, and if necessary a heating-device for the vessel e may be used ; the fuel is admitted by a valve n. The above method of working is particularly applicable to engines of the Diesel type.

Abstract: 6950. Leclaire, C. C. March 22, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Beet-root and the like, treating.-Liquid or semifluid material is supplied through a vessel G and pipe H to a filtering or straining chamber 1 with walls of porcelain, clay, wire-gauze, or textile or other material. Liquid filters through under pressure or by suction into a casing 5, and is discharged through an outlet 6. The separated solids are scraped from the filtering-partition by a screw or by helical scrapers 9 attached to arms projecting from a shaft 7, and are compressed by a solid spiral 10 into a conical passage 2 connected by a pipe 3 to a pipe 4, the outlet of which is initially closed. As shown, two filters are placed vertically between a frame B and an upper platform C supported on angle irons D. The shaft 7 may be fixed while the filtering-partition rotates. The discharged material may be further desiccated or washed by a hot fluid or washing liquid introduced through perforations in the pipe 3 and caused to circulate through the material. The filter is stated to be applicable in drying beetroot residues &c. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 describes also the use of brushes in the place of scrapers 9, a spring valve closing the outlet of the pipe 4, and an arrangement in which the pipe 4 is flattened and perforated so that a washing or drying liquid can be passed across it. This subject-matter does not occur in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Patent GB-190627717-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Steam and Vacuum Brake Mechanism for Trains and Vehicles.
Inventor: GRESHAM HARRY EDWARD
Filed: 1906-12-05
Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 27,717. Gresham, H. E. Dec. 5. Brakes.-In brake systems for trains and vehicles, comprising both a vacuum brake and a steam brake, means are provided for preventing, when desired, the opening of the steam valve for passing steam to the steam-brake cylinders when air is in the train-pipe, as for example when a train is at rest with the vacuum brakes on. In the arrangement shown, the steam valve i is held upon its seat by a lever c which is pressed inwards by the suction of a piston e<1> acted upon by the vacuum in the train-pipe g. Whenever air is admitted to the train-pipe, the steam, acting on the stem i<1> of the steam valve, raises the valve and passes through the pipe i<2> to the steam-brake cylinders. To prevent the valve i from being thus raised when it is desired that the steam brakes shall not be applied while the air brakes are applied, a catch b is put into engagement with a pin h on the lever c ; it is held firmly engaged by the outward pressure of the steam valve on the lever c, but falls away by its own weight whenever vacuum is re-established in the train-pipe g. To ensure positive disengagement of the catch if it fails to fall away, it is pivoted on the rotary air valve a by which the driver admits air to the train-pipe for applying the brakes. Thus, when the valve a is rotated for applying the brakes, it moves away the catch b from the pin h.
